Chief Seattle and Nature
In 1855,
an American Indian Prophet, Chief Seattle, tried to enlighten the then President of the United States. He said; "Teach
your children what we have taught our children, that the Earth is our Mother. Whatever befalls the Earth, befalls the children
of the Earth. If we spit on the ground, we spit on ourselves". No one listened and the white man got greedier.
If we are ever to see a day or place where peace reigns supreme and the wolf will dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall
lie down with the kid, and the lion shall eat straw with the ox, then we must honor the magnificent, ultimate trust God put
in us and save the lives of all His blessed creatures of creation and our home "EARTH".
These animals
are a barometer of the environment and we are losing 3 species a day! This is the same environment we depend on for life.
We are not dealing with just a sickness or disease, we are dealing with Extinction, soon it will be our own.
Each
species was created to fit its individual needs and place in a balanced environment. We are the only species altering the
planet to suit our will and needs. Stephen Hawking, a brilliant mind of our time has said: "I don't think the human
race will last 100 years". I think he is right.
God made a promise to us that he would never destroy the earth
again. He is quite surprised that we are doing it to ourselves
